I was running the K&N system for a while and finally after 2 years, i killed the maf with oil. I never oiled the filter once in those 2 years but it eventually got on there some how. I switched to the Volant and have never had a problem since. The power core filter is the way to go in my opinion.

My volant didn't fit my radix well so I went back to the stock with a K&N filter.
I installed a 3 1/2" PVC flange out the bottom of the intake box and ran a flex-haust hose down to the bottom of of the wheel well/valance for cold air intake. Looks stock when you open the hood and much more cost effective as well.

the volant flows plenty of air.....trust me. with the 112 you want to eliminate as much under hood temps as possible. the k&n is just sucking in hot air from the engine compartment. You should be concerned with intake temps. If the intake temps are too high the pcm will pull timing which means less power. The mp112 has a tendancy to be a heat soak anyway so try everything you can to counter this.

Will the Volant boxed air filter style intake flow as well as an open element intake filter? I am more concerned with air flow than intake temps.

I vote volant, I have read so many forums, guys love design and gains from the inclosed filter, for the 112s high iat's, i am sure no one likes a heat soaked element. Cooler the better...
